Seasonal Dragons take on the characteristics of the season during which they are born. Thus, eggs that are laid in spring match the pink flowers and green buds of spring, and those that are laid in the summer grow to depict the bright green of the forest trees and the yellow of the sun. Eggs laid in autumn display the bright colors of leaves falling from trees, and those that are laid during winter take on the appearance of the icy snow.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

Having been born with nimble claws, Kimiiro is exceptionally skilled in extracting juice from berries and other fruits. Each day, she either searches for seasonal fruit to bring back to the caves, or for soft woods she can carve into crude bowls to hold juice. She has fun experimenting with different combinations of fruit juices, and usually is able to find a willing hatchling or sibling to try the latest concoction.
